No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

He eats too many Sea Weedies.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

He's Chester the cheetahs mistress

This would be Donald J. Trump without his spray tan or scalp surgery.

Real

He kinda looks better. If he just stopped making that face he would look like a normal human.

[–] disguy_ovahea 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

He definitely looks less like the old eccentric guy who glued thousands of bottle caps, buttons, and toys to the outside of his 1987 Yugo.

[–] athairmor 40 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That looks at least 30 lbs too light.

Because he looks like an even more elderly ghost of a man without it.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

it looks like a bad photoshop job lmao

[–] Alenalda 2 points 6 days ago

the person applying the clown makeup was rushed that day

Spray tan and/or makeup

Without it he looks like a ghost, for rallys and TV appareances he gets a touchup right before, but candids you can see what it looks like without in the edges.

It's not that it looks good, it's that without it he'd look a hell of a lot worse.

[–] NABDad 15 points 6 days ago

without it he'd look a hell of a lot worse.

I disagree. He's old. He'd look old. That's not worse, it's just human.

I've been to a number of funerals. No one ever looks good. Everyone ends up looking inhuman.

My paternal grandparents were both cremated. Grandfather died first, then my grandmother died a few years later.

They weren't going to have any kind of service, so there was no need for makeup. However, my parents, siblings and I gathered at the funeral home to say goodbye. The funeral home put the body on a gurney covered by a sheet.

They looked better than any other corpse I've seen. They looked dead, but not inhuman.

Trump should fire the mortuary make-up artist he's been using and just try to be human.

Once you start thinking about the relationship between Trump and his base like pro wrestling it all makes a lot more sense

[–] Lost_My_Mind 2 points 6 days ago

Well he does make as much intellectual sense as The Ultimate Warrior!

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 week ago

Because he puts on orange paint. And a lot of people think it's very weird.

[–] dhork 24 points 1 week ago

Have you ever looked at the makeup that theater or TV performers use? It is layered on super thick, so that it looks good from far away, but up close it looks overly made up.

Trump has been on TV so much that he knows all about that. He wants to project an image of vitality, so he layers that stuff on as thick as he can to mask his natural pallor.

[–] expatriado 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

he can't get regular tan under the sun because he keeps looking at it

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

He got some lights at one point but apparently kept sticking the bulbs up his butt.

[–] TingoTenga 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It puts the lotion on it's skin.

[–] Lost_My_Mind 4 points 6 days ago

And then it ruins the country again.

[–] cheese_greater 14 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Cuz he's pale as fuck and probably has issues with his complexion. I would conjecture he would look deathlier if he didn't wear that shit. Look at RFK up close, can you imagine how much worse whats underneath is being covered up?

Some people just like to fuck their shit up.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

It's bronzer. He puts it on so people think he's not some kind of zombie.

Asshole can’t accept his age and skin tone. That’s why he also has the fucked up “hair”.

[–] werefreeatlast 4 points 1 week ago

The devil is red but the silicone skin is still a little translucent. I'm sure that big book he talks about selling probably has some more details.
